2023 is finally here and I am hands down excited for the year to come! It was so wonderful to see so many familiar and new faces at PPAI EXPO in Las Vegas. We connected at our annual cocktail reception and member breakfast and of course on the show floor. If you were there, I think you will agree there is an optimism around opportunities 2023 will bring coupled with a sense of realism knowing those opportunities may come with some challenge. Whatever your lens, planning seems to be key. In this month’s newsletter, we want to encourage you to make a plan for the year ahead. Remember to give yourself some latitude but be ready to put in the work to achieve the goals you’ve set for yourself. Cheers to a successful 2023!

What is Viva Magenta?
Pantone’s Color of the Year, Viva Magenta 18-1750, vibrates with vim and vigor. It is a shade rooted in nature descending from the red family and expressive of a new signal of strength. Viva Magenta is brave and fearless, and a pulsating color whose exuberance promotes a joyous and optimistic celebration, writing a new narrative. |

Why You Should Define Your Fears Instead of Your Goals
Tim Ferriss encourages us to fully envision and write down our fears in detail, in a simple but powerful exercise he calls "fear-setting." Learn more about how this practice can help you thrive in high-stress environments and separate what you can control from what you cannot.

Meet Jeffrey Nanus
President
AAA Innovations
Q: What's your favorite movie?
A: I'm in the umbrella business so I probably should say RainMan or Singing in the Rain...but my favorite movie is Hoosiers. Who doesn't love Gene Hackman in a David vs. Goliath story. “Just give Jimmy the ball...he'll make it!”
Q: If you had to eat one meal, every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A: This one is easy...pancakes. Pancakes make people happy -any kind work for me.
Q: Any upcoming events/news you want to share from your company with our network?
A: The big news from AAA Innovations is that we are taking sustainability to the next level by transitioning EVERY umbrella, bag, chair and tent to be made with recycled or eco-friendly materials. EVERYTHING. We are doing this while maintaining our high quality and we will not raise prices. Our eco-friendly merchandise will cost the same as our competitors non-eco-friendly products. Let's all go green! |
